Capitalism has some strange sense of values. At a time when world-wide we have families living in penury and near-starvation we have sportsmen signing million dollar contracts. The baseball team Miami Marlins signed Giancarlo Stanton on a 13 year contract for $325 million. 'His contract tops the $292 million 10 year deal Miguel Cabrera agreed with the Detroit Tigers in March. Alex Rodrieque signed a the largest previous deal, a $275 million 10 year contract with the Yankees before the 2008 season.' (Huff Post, 18 November) RD
